Early Biographical details

In 1472, John Thornton was summoned to appear at Southwell on a count of perjury, the charge being that he had secretly married and that his wife was being passed off as his niece. He was found guilty and ordered to compurge himself before eleven witnesses.

The Vicar was articled in 1587 for not preaching once a quarter according to royal instructions.

Prebends

The two Oxton Prebends were founded in Saxon times and augmented soon after the Norman Conquest. No revenues attach to the Prebends today.
